Localization testing
a1qa’s localization testing coverage
Compliance testing
a1qa examines whether your solution supports the spelling rules and formatting standards of the target language and correctly displays the following:
- Letters and punctuation symbols
- Direction of writing
- Number, date and time formatting

Localized GUI testing
Our team assesses if the localized content properly fits into the solution’s GUI and does not disrupt the layout integrity, by focusing on such aspects as:
- Typographic alignment
- Number truncation
- Accent character spacing
- Hyphenation
- Text collation
- Capitalization
- Buttons and image captions
Functional testing
We seek out localization-related glitches in the system’s operation and look into the following content-related functions:
- Text input
- Text output in the proper format
- Hotkeys
- Hyperlinks
- Alphabetical and numerical sorting
Solution-centric localization testing services
Websites
We focus on testing how localization affects website UX/UI and its mobile-friendliness, and evaluate how well the content is optimized for the target audience’s comprehension.
Mobile apps
Our team tests how the localized content of your Android, iOS, or hybrid app looks on different screens and tracks down ensuing disruptions in the navigation, menus, and general look and feel.
Desktop software
a1qa checks for localization-inflicted malfunctions in the functionality and ensures user experience consistency by examining the solution’s input controls, navigational elements, and information components.
